Dyno Result 06 LS2 A6
I had my car tuned the other day and was kinda suprised at the numbers....not in a good way. I have an 06 LS2 with an A6. Mods are LG Longtube street pro's, 160 stat, Vararam and 3:42's. I ended up with 339RWHP and 342TQ. Temps were 93 degrees and 36% humidity. A/F was right at 13. Dyno run was on a Dynojet.
Does anybody have a similar set up? What are your numbers? Just curious if I'm in the ball park.
How much HP loss on an A6 compared to an MN6?
Thanks!

My car is scheduled to go into Livernois Motorsports on Aug. 09 for heads, cam and an Edelbrock E-force blower. I don't think they will baseline the car before tearing the engine apart, but they told me that a stock A6 with an LS2 produced around 330 RWHP. Are the dyno numbers you posted from after the tune? Either way, I agree they're disappointing especially since you have long tubes. Did the tuner indicate if the low gear you're running affects the HP readings? What do you think of the 3:42 rear end?

YOUR EXACTLY correct !!! two things to think about--- the Trick Flow's are at least double the $$ of the stage 2 from Livernois---your talking at least $1400 more----for my street car & cam, the trick flow are almost an over kill for me---when you start figuring $$$---& want the highest H.P.---there's only one way to go----BLOWER !! To make a car run like a blower car--it takes the best equipment & lots $$$$--to have a nice fast STREET car---you can do it for half the $$$ of a blower car. I never run at the drags---just try to be --FAST--on the road !!!!

I have airaid intake, 160 stat, bullet rear exhaust, LG pro catless headers, dynoed 322 stock, and 372 this weekend after the tune, exactly 50rwhp from the mods/tune. In 100 degree temps, dynojet as well, M6 in mine though. As said above only the before/after matter really. Im sure you can feel a pretty big diff after the header install? I sure did.

Your 3.42s (I still have the stock 2.56s) will steal a little bit of rwhp as well but either way I feel that your numbers appear a little lower than they should be. And I say they "appear" lower because there are many factors that might be contributing to those readings and on another dyno your car might read much higher. It's probably best to use a dyno strictly for 'before and after' type comparisons only in order to determine what you've gained (or lost) from changes/modifications.
It's a notable amount when talking about the 300-450rwhp ranges...upwards of a 15-20+rwhp loss in many cases.

the TF's. that lets me with $1,800 net into them. They also have RESEL
VALUE to the tune of $2,000. Hard to get a good buck for 243's no matter who worked on them. Another myth is L92's being so cheep. By the time you do all the work & additiona;l components like Spring set, Compression & fly cutting & much more. I also looked at fully prepared 243's and they get to $2,200 from some of the better shops.
